Dating Russell Peters was a mistake: Sunny Leone

Adult artist-turned-Bollywood actor, Sunny Leone, who dated international standup comedian, Russell Peters a few years ago, says that dating the comedian was a mistake. “You know, we were friends for such a long time and sometimes if you are friends for so long you think you can end up together. So we dated each other for some time, but I think that was a mistake,” says the 32-year-old, who was in HT City office, recently.

Explaining why she considers her dating decision a mistake, she adds, “I mean it spoils a lot of things. Although if I met him now, I will probably hug him and ask him about his family. He is a nice guy.”

Sunny who’s kiss with a female actor (Sandhya Mridul) in an upcoming film, has created a lot of buzz, says she doesn’t know what the fuss is all about. “The scene is part of the story. I don’t get why people are making such a big deal about it. It’s not as crazy as people think it is,” she says, adding, “Plus it’s done now, so we can’t erase it (laughs). Sandhya is a great girl and it was a great moment that we shared.” Meanwhile, Sunny has also received death threats from the Bajrang Dal. Ask her if the threats scare her, and she says, “I can’t believe that people have time and energy to be violent. They should spend their time doing something good for the country.”
